First Review-8th July, 2010.

Today I went in with my proposal, storyline and some rotoscopy explorations.

The feedback and suggestions I received from Avy and Ramana were –

1.       To work on Plot, figuring out rising action, climax, falling action, and denouement keeping in mind sequences such as showing how the character gets his guilt, the events in the day-dream, the ending of the story and the shift from real to unreal(whether it would be shown in a simple or complex or simple TO complex manner).

I was also asked to script the sequences individually as I went along.

2.       I was asked to work out my character explorations as a parallel drawing process so as to gain momentum and finish things faster. I was also told to storyboard along with scripting so it would be clear for me to get the correct picture of my story and make necessary changes faster.

3.       I was also told to watch out for clichés in my story, as it seemed to be moving towards that. I was asked to figure out how I can twist clichés to make my story interesting.

4.       For the day-dream sequence, I was asked to work out how the flashback events can get a nightmare-ish quality, and also how an SMS on the character’s phone leads him into such flashbacks.

I have been given three deadlines today, for Story, Script and Storyboard.

My story has to be ready by 10^th July, midnight.

The scripting has to be finished by 15^th July.

The storyboard has to be finished by 30^th of July.
